The links you suggested were helpful, thanks. The data in my file is always used when the program is run, program constants you could say. I placed the file in the project directory, so it wasn't necessary to specify a path to access it. Most "data sections" in other programming languages that I've used (e.g., assembler) contain data that reside in memory as part of the executable, and have addresses that make the data available to the running program. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing things the hard way by processing a file containing information that was already part of the (running) program. I've finished the program, and it works great -- data file access and all. The program also creates files, but that's a different matter.
